Floral Improv with the Tidewater Quilters, Part One

The Tidewater Quilters, of Hampton Roads, VA, did a GREAT job in our Zoom Floral Improv class, back in August. As you’ll see from these photos taken at the end of our six hour class, they made a LOT of progress!

First, they learned how to make daisies without a pattern – both circular and oval versions.

Then, I taught them a little about design and composition and they spent some time arranging their flowers. (No stems or leaves yet.)

Didn’t they do a great job? This is only half the class. In part two I’ll show you more pictures and tell you what we covered in the latter half of the class.

P.S. Floral Improv is a good class for traditional quilters who want to try something a little different. Read here to see if it’s a good fit for your guild.
